2024-07-21 14:46:25 UTC - MISINFORMED_OR_POTENTIALLY_MISLEADING

The premature report by the BBC on the collapse of WTC 7 was a mistake resulting from the chaotic and evolving situation on September 11, 2001. There is no evidence to support claims that this was part of a conspiracy. The error was due to the reliance on incorrect info. https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/a-bbc-reporting-error-is-not-proof-the-network-was-part-of-an-inside-job-on-9-11/ https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2023/09/11/bbc-news-report-on-911-was-a-mistake-not-proof-of-plan-fact-check/70826459007/ https://fullfact.org/online/bbc-world-trade-center-7-september-11/

Original Tweet

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1815031533599699164

Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
